Four Deciding Sets Highlight Farm Fresh’s Eventful PVL Campaign
Farm Fresh owns a 3-2 record, but Royse Tubino believes greater consistency remains necessary under the PVL’s all-to-play format. Four of the Foxies’ first five matches reached deciding sets, highlighting their eventful start to the All-Filipino Conference Siklab Series.
Farm Fresh Adjusts to PVL All-to-Play Format
Jonash Dannug of Tiebreaker Times covered Farm Fresh’s adjustment after four of its first five matches reached deciding sets. The Foxies alternated victories and defeats through those five contests, producing a 3-2 record during their early Siklab Series campaign.
Tubino identified sustaining momentum as Farm Fresh’s primary concern, particularly when the team begins matches strongly before subsequent lineup changes. Her assessment followed another five-set contest against ZUS Coffee, which became Farm Fresh’s third victory of the conference.
“Siguro, sa amin, yung momentum kasi kapag nakuha namin yung first set, tapos nag-iiba yung second set, nawawala yung momentum ng team,” Tubino said.

Four Five-Set Matches Test Foxies’ Consistency
Farm Fresh has already played four five-set matches, accounting for half of the tournament’s eight deciding-set contests at this stage. The Foxies split those four matches while recording victories against Choco Mucho and ZUS Coffee during their 3-2 conference start.
Tubino Explains Momentum Problems Between Sets
Tubino sat out the entire second set against ZUS Coffee before returning and eventually finishing the five-set victory with 20 points. She connected that interruption with Farm Fresh’s continuing adjustment to lineup changes required under the PVL’s current all-to-play competition format.
The veteran said the Foxies still need additional time together while becoming accustomed to the setup used during the conference. Her comments placed Farm Fresh’s adjustment within the players’ experience of leaving and re-entering matches between different sets.
“So kailangan namin makuha, mag-gel pa talaga, masanay na ganoon yung setup ng PVL ngayon.”
Veteran Scores 20 Points Against ZUS Coffee
Tubino finished with 20 points despite sitting through the entire second frame before returning later during Farm Fresh’s five-set comeback. Her scoring performance accompanied another extended match for the Foxies, whose first five conference appearances included four deciding-set finishes.

The Foxies extended the contest by winning the fourth set 25-19 before controlling the deciding frame for a 15-10 victory. That comeback secured Farm Fresh’s third conference win and improved its record to 3-2 after another match reached five sets.

Tubino Highlights Mindset During Rotation Changes
Tubino also identified mindset as another part of Farm Fresh’s adjustment when players leave the floor before returning in later sets. She described the challenge of resting after the opening frame before re-entering competition and attempting to recover the team’s earlier momentum.
“Mindset siguro kasi galing sa first set, tapos rest, tapos bakbakan ulit ng third set. So nasa mindset, tapos kuha ulit ng momentum para makabalik ulit,” Tubino said.
Tubino said Farm Fresh’s response must begin during training, where the Foxies can continue preparing for the competition’s current setup. Her comments emphasized carrying lessons from practice into matches while the team continues adjusting throughout the All-Filipino Conference.
“Siguro, siyempre, best effort pa rin kami na kukunin namin sa training kasi doon talaga lalabas yung laro namin. Sa training, uumpisahan namin para pagdating ng game, lalabas yung kung anong natutunan namin sa training.”
Training Becomes Focus for Farm Fresh Adjustments
Tubino pointed toward training as Farm Fresh’s starting point for improving its execution under the all-to-play competition structure. The Foxies remain early in their adjustment process after five matches featuring frequent lineup changes and four deciding-set finishes.

Despite those extended matches, Farm Fresh carries a 3-2 overall record and remains tied with Choco Mucho for third place. The Foxies have won more matches than they have lost while continuing their adjustment to the all-to-play format described by Tubino.

Analytical Breakdown: Rotation Changes Test Farm Fresh’s Consistency
Farm Fresh’s biggest challenge is maintaining tactical continuity when mandatory lineup changes interrupt combinations that established rhythm during previous sets. Tubino’s experience provides stability, but every rotation must develop enough chemistry to prevent sharp performance drops after personnel changes. Faster mental and tactical resets could help Farm Fresh convert repeated five-set battles into more controlled and physically efficient victories.
